The Story
The Los Angeles Dodgers routed the Los Angeles Angels 10-1 at Angel Stadium on May 17, 2026, a result that the DiamondIQ model's estimate suggested was increasingly inevitable as the game progressed. The Angels entered with a 27% pre-game win probability according to the model, and that figure collapsed to 0% by the final out. Los Angeles did its damage in bursts, plating two runs in the second inning before a five-run fourth completely broke the game open, then added three more in the ninth to reach double digits.
The pivotal moment came in the top of the fourth inning, where Shohei Ohtani delivered a single off Grayson Rodriguez that swung win probability 13.8 percentage points in the Dodgers' favor, the single largest play of the game by that measure. Andy Pages followed with his own single off Rodriguez for an additional 8.5-point swing, compounding the damage in an inning that effectively ended any realistic path to an Angels victory. Rodriguez was the central figure in the Dodgers' offensive success across multiple innings, also surrendering the Hyeseong Kim single in the second that carried a 4.3-point win-probability swing. On the other side, Jorge Soler's groundout in the bottom of the first off Roki Sasaki represented the Angels' best chance to generate early momentum, moving their win probability 4.9 points in a favorable direction before the opportunity dissipated.
Among the individual performers, Ohtani finished as the top batter by WPA at plus-11.4% with a RE24 of plus-1.9, reflecting both his situational impact and run-environment contribution. Hyeseong Kim was second among batters at plus-5.9% WPA and plus-1.3 RE24. On the mound, Roki Sasaki led all pitchers with a WPA of plus-6.6%, anchoring a dominant Dodgers pitching performance that limited the Angels to one run on five hits across nine innings.
